$f(f(x))=\exp(x)-1$ and other functions "just in the middle" between linear and exponential

And this is another construction. Let $\sigma(x)=\exp(x)-1$ From this paper http://arxiv.org/abs/0812.4047 we know that $$\exp(\sigma^{[p]}(t))=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}B_n^p\frac{t^n}{n!}$$ where $B_n^p$ a …

$f(f(x))=\exp(x)-1$ and other functions "just in the middle" between linear and exponential

You can find the half-iterate of a function from known integer iterates by using Newton series, for example: $$f^{[1/2]}(x)=\sum_{m=0}^{\infty} \binom {1/2}m \sum_{k=0}^m\binom mk(-1)^{m-k}f^{[k]}(x) …
